Welcome Frankie!

Meghan sits down with one of her oldest and dearest friends, Frankie Carattini — Director of Events and Client Relations at People's and the man the New Yorker crowned "New York's pickiest doorman." What started as a coat-check gig while Frankie worked full-time in PR turned into the most powerful door in New York nightlife, and this episode has the full ride: getting scouted by legendary Acme doorman Patrick, surviving COVID club closures, and becoming the gatekeeper A-listers has had to charm their way past.

Frankie gets brutally honest about what it takes to run a door — the "first ten people get a no" rule, his mental blacklist for bad tippers, and the wildest things drunk guests have said to him. He and Meghan dig into how their careers mirror each other, plus the philosophy behind People's as a phone-free, human-connection-first space in a city that's forgotten how to be present.

Part friendship reunion, part masterclass in hospitality — from two people who found each other at a coat check and never looked back.

Hollywood doesn't run on red carpets; it runs on assistants. Podcast hosted by Meghan Grimm

Hollywood doesn't run on red carpets; it runs on assistants. Behind every headline is the person who booked the car, confirmed the call time, and packed the snacks. In Hollywood, assistants aren't background; they're the operating system. From mailroom gigs, set runners and first feature films to all the chaos behind closed doors, Clyde Confidential lifts the curtain on the industry's most defining (and sometimes mortifying) early career moments. Hosted by Meghan Grimm, founder of the elite entertainment staffing agency Clyde, this podcast brings together the movers and shakers of Hollywood: clients, creators, and ex-assistants turned power players to dish on the real stories from their career journeys and biggest lessons that came out of them.
